Prime Video reveals the first official trailer for “The Devil’s Hour” Starring Peter Capaldi

Have you ever woken in the middle of the night and felt like something wasn’t quite right? You may have woken during the “Devil’s Hour” – the hour between 3am and 4am, or 3.33am specifically, regarded as a time when unexplainable things can occur… 

Prime Video reveals the first official trailer from THE DEVIL’S HOUR, which features another look at Jessica Raine (Patrick Melrose), Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who), Nikesh Patel (Starstruck), and Phil Dunster (Ted Lasso) in the highly anticipated upcoming thriller. 

The series follows the story of Lucy, played by Raine, who is woken every night by terrifying visions at exactly 3.33am: the devil’s hour. Her eight-year-old son is withdrawn and emotionless. Her mother speaks to empty chairs. Her house is haunted by the echoes of a life that isn’t her own. When Lucy’s name is inexplicably connected to a string of brutal murders in the area, the answers that have evaded her all these years will finally come into focus. Capaldi plays a reclusive nomad, driven by a murderous obsession. He becomes the prime target of a police manhunt led by compassionate detective Ravi Dhillon, played by Patel. 

The six-part series is written and created by Tom Moran and produced by Hartswood Films (Dracula, Sherlock). The series will launch exclusively on Prime Video on October 28th.
